Disclaimer: I own nothing, sadly… -_-
Chapter 3: September 3'th, Tuesday 1996.
Draco woke up the next morning feeling exceptionally giddy, opening his eyes and finding that he was snuggled with a sleeping Harry. His mate, Harry. Draco blushed and couldn't help a smile forming on his face, while his expression softened from the initial shock to feeling like this is where he belonged. Snuggled up with Harry Potter, of all people! Draco had to admit that there were some feelings toward the other boy before this whole veela mess, but he was in denial, even for himself. He peeked over Harry's mess of a hair and saw the time on a clock that was standing on the drawer next to the bed, wincing at how late it was. He decided to wake Harry, hoping he was a light sleeper.
"Harry" he whispered softly, nuzzling into Harry's neck. "Harry… It's time to get up, love…" he said.
Harry murmured something and got back to sleep. Draco sighed, rolling his eyes in amusement.
"Harry!" he shouted, startling the other boy to open his eyes.
"Damn, Draco, you nearly gave me a heart attack!" complained Harry. Then he noticed in what position they were and blushed hotly. Draco giggled.
"You look so cute when you're blushing, Harry, I could get used to this… And you called me Draco!" Draco hugged Harry happily, making the other boy blush even harder.
"Well yeah, as you said, I can't keep calling you Malfoy if were… You know…" Harry said, sliding away from Draco uncomfortably, not noticing the flash of hurt in Draco's eyes.
"Come on, let's head to breakfast" yawned Harry and pulled Draco out of bed.
"You can use the bathroom first, since we only got one and I take longer to get ready" Draco blushed slightly, making Harry laugh.
"I figured, well don't worry, I don't need more than five minutes" Harry said and closed the bathroom door after him.
Draco smiled to himself and looked over at Harry's trunk. Curios, he opened it and peeked through the clothes.
"Uh, hideous" he muttered to himself. "Harry?" he called through the closed door.
"Yeah?" he heard Harry's voice muffled through the door.
"Don't make any plans this Friday cause were going to Hogsmeade" Draco said.
Harry opened the door, already dressed and drying his hair with a towel, sending a chuckle toward the blonde. "Like on a date?" he joked, although his cheeks turned light pink.
"Like a shopping trip. I've seen your clothes, and their hideous! We have got to go buy you new clothes as soon as possible, and do something about your hair and those awful glasses" Draco said.
Harry chuckled. "What if I happen to like the way I look?" he asked, removing the towel and shaking his head like a dog, to Draco's astonishment.
"What if I don't care?" answered Draco, enjoying the sight in front of him.
Harry laughed and Draco found his cheeks growing hot, so he decided it was time to get ready, and went inside the bathroom, preparing for a nice warm shower.
After the shower and after both boys were completely ready, they got out and made their way to the great hall, deciding not to interrupt Blaise and Nicolette if they were still in their room. As they entered the great hall, they noticed the two already sitting at the Slytherin table.
Draco made a move toward the Slytherin table, as usual, before he felt a tug at his sleeve.
"Oh no you don't" said Harry, starting to pull the other boy toward the Gryffindor table.
"I sat with your friends so I think that it's time you sat with mine" Harry said.
"But Ha-rry, they are Gryffindorks!" whined Draco, pouting. Harry looked at him and smiled.
"You look so cute when you pout, Malfoy" sneered Harry and sat them both between Ron and Hermione, who were sniggering at that comment.
"Shut up" muttered Draco, blushing. "I am not cute. I am a Malfoy. Malfoy's are not cute" Draco said arrogantly.
Harry giggled.
"Morning Harry, umm, why is he sitting with us?" Ginny pointed at the blonde, who glared at her.
"Because I am a veela and Harry is my mate?" he said sarcastically while Harry piled an enormous amount of food on his plate. Draco watched in disgust as Harry and Ron fought who had more food on their plate.
"Gryffindors are disgusting" Draco declared and Harry sent a glance toward him before stuffing more food in his mouth.
"But why are you sitting here?" Ginny insisted.
Draco raised an eyebrow at her. "Tell me, what do you even know about veelas?" he asked.
"I know Fleur Delacour, and she is a veela" Ginny said. Draco snorted at that.
"Fleur is a quarter-veela, and the veela blood in her isn't dominant" Draco stated.
"How do you know? Fleur stayed with us over the summer, and is marrying my oldest brother" Ginny said.
"I know because she's a distant relative of mine" Draco said.
"How does it have to do with Harry?" Ginny said, annoyed.
"He is my mate. Do you even understand what that means?" Draco sighed.
Ginny opened her mouth, closing it again after she couldn't find a response and blushing slightly.
"Exactly. Well, Harry being my mate means we are destined to be together" Draco smiled while Harry blushed slightly, stuffing a piece of pie to his mouth.
"What? But that can't be true! Just leave him alone, Malfoy" Ginny warned.
"No can do, Weaslette, you'll just have to get used to my charming presence, I'm not leaving" Draco said, wrapping his arm around Harry's waist possessively, pulling him a bit closer. As Harry choked slightly on his food, growing deep red in the face, Ginny and Draco glared at each other, neither willing to back away.
"Uh, guys? Your making me feel awkward" said Harry.
"But of course, their practically fighting over you" said Hermione, choking back a laugh.
"What are you talking about?" Harry asked uncomfortably.
"Are you that oblivious, Harry?" Ron asked.
Harry just stared at Ron. "You too, Ron?" he asked.
His friends just sighed in despair.
"Come on Harry, if you're done eating I will take some food with us because I don't want to stay here anymore" Draco stated and pulled Harry after him, levitating some food after them.
"Will you at least try to be civil with my friends?" Harry rolled his eyes as they got out of the great hall, Draco munching on some toast.
"I tried, but she was nearly hitting on you and I can't let that happen" Draco stated.
"She wasn't, she's like a little sister to me" Harry said, blushing.
"Wow, Potter, you really are oblivious" Draco said, raising his eyebrows in surprise.
Harry rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Now let's get to class" he said and led the way to the History of Magic class, Draco following and writing himself a mental note to make Harry see how hot he really is.
After classes Harry and Draco stayed in their room, reading together on the couch, side by side.
Draco hummed happily, Harry sending him an amused glance, enjoying the sound of his voice. Harry placed his head on Draco's shoulder, relaxing. Draco blushed and smiled at his mate.
"Why did you stop?" Harry asked.
"Oh, I…" Draco stammered, blushing.
"You have a beautiful voice, Draco" Harry said and Draco blushed even harder, smiling.
"Thank you" he said. Harry raised his head from Draco's shoulder and looked at him.
"You look so cute when you blush" Harry whispered, smiling.
Their faces were a kiss distance, and that fact made both of them flush red and look away in embarrassment.
Harry stood up and pulled Draco from the couch, their faces ending up an inch apart. Draco blushed and Harry smiled.
"Come on, let's go to dinner" he said, his hot breath brushing on Draco's lips.
Harry took Draco's hand in his and they went together to the great hall, Draco's veela side nearly jumping with joy that his mate accepted him, even if unconsciously, and completed the third stage.
Author's notes: A little explanation- The third stage actually means that the mate accepts the veela romantically. Now that you know that, what will happen next? Their relationship is developing, Yay!
Also, since I'm doing each day as a chapter, I don't control the length and its way too long sometimes, so I have to cut out some things and adjust them because the chapters are too long, and sometimes its too short, but my muse is being a bitch so…
Also, lots of Drarry kisses to Luv4RobPattz, Cissa The Bookworm and bluedragonstorm (I hope I satisfied you lol) for reviewing my story! 3 ! Please review and be nice ;)
